Profile
Charles W. Ranson serves as a consultant and testifying expert in trust and estate and other wealth management cases involving financial institutions, trustees, beneficiaries, and investors. Having worked with some of the wealthiest investors in the country provided him with a unique perspective on the relationships between fiduciaries and investors.
In 1983, Ranson became a registered representative at Legg Mason in Washington, DC, where he worked exclusively with ultra-high net worth investors, entrepreneurs, and family offices. He held positions at Legg Mason, Merrill Lynch, and Oppenheimer between 1986 and 1990. Ranson entered the banking industry in 1990, working at the Trust Department of Citizens and Southern Trust Company— now Bank of America.
Ranson joined the Chase Manhattan Private Bank in 1991 in Palm Beach, where he rose quickly through the organization from VP for business development and marketing to Managing Director at Chase Manhattan Bank NA, ultimately becoming President and CEO of the Chase Manhattan Private Bank in Florida in 1998. In his role as President, Ranson was responsible for the banking, credit, trust, and investment businesses and worked with OCC regulators in all aspects of the bank's audits and compliance with regulators. He also sat on the management committee of the Chase Manhattan Private Bank's US markets group.
In 2001 Ranson became Managing Director of US Trust Company of Florida, and in 2002 he was recruited to open the Florida offices of Atlantic Trust Company. He formed Integritas Advisors, an independent investment advisory firm, in 2004. From 2006-2010, he was Founding Chair of Tiger 21, the nation's leading peer-to-peer learning group for ultra-high net worth investors.
